The Collegiate Church of Manchester foundation in 1421 enabled the Dean and Fellows of the Collegiate Church to control the rapid growth of the Ancient Parish population to the pecuniary advantage of the Collegiate Church. A useful background article by Henry Mantell http://www.aidan.co.uk/article_manchester_cathedral.htm explains the influence of the Dean and Fellows of the Collegiate church on Manchester Parish records.

The lack of Manchester Churches and practice of the Collegiate church contributed to the formation of the Manchester Diocese in 1847 and subsequent Diocesan building programme.

Manchester Our Lady, St George and St Denys is the Ancient Parish and perhaps the largest market town in the county of Lancashire. Other places (see above "A Comprehensive List...") within the parish boundaries include but are not limited to the following places and townships:
